Venum Impact Sparring Gloves Review

About

As a fighter, you never want to be second-guessing yourself. The slightest hesitance could mean the difference between winning and losing or even getting seriously hurt.

The Venum Impact Sparring Gloves ensures that you're comfortable and able to spar effectively, without being distracted by ill fitting gloves.

The multi-layered foam maximizes impact whilst at the same time protecting your wrist and joints. This allows for you to train both more effectively and safely, as it minimises the chances of sustaining any damage to your hand, fingers or wrist.

The Venum Impact sparring gloves find the perfect balance between size, weight and protection, offering as much support as possible, without hindering the wearers ability to move and strike.

Quality & Material

The Venum Impact Sparring Gloves are made from a good set of durable materials, most of which is made up of genuine leather. The use of multi-layered foam helps to absorb shock and dissipate trauma felt on your hand and wrist.

The double Velcro straps provides better support for your wrist with added mobility. The attached thumb guard makes them ideal for some light bag work, however if you're looking to work out on a heavy bag, a heavier, more protective pair of gloves would be better suited.

In the experience of many fighters who have used the Venum Impact Sparring Gloves, they are extremely durable and don’t require much of a break-in. So, you can hit the rig that same day!

Venum Undisputed 2.0 MMA Gloves Review

About

The Venum Undisputed 2.0 MMA Gloves have been entirely revamped in this newer version. The company claims to have addressed the issues with the original glove in version 2.0.

The focus this time around has been on comfort and design. Produced in Thailand, the Venum Undisputed 2.0 MMA Gloves boast of a new enclosure system which provides a better fit. It can also be closed with just one hand.

In our experience, if the earlier version is anything to go by the Venum Undisputed 2.0 MMA Gloves will last longer and be a lot less smelly!

What's more, this awesome design is available in 6 different colors, so your bound to find one that matches your style.

Quality & Material

The Venum Undisputed 2.0 MMA Gloves are primarily comprised of Nappa leather, which is known for being both durable and comfortable.

The leather parts are glued together with high-density threading which addresses the problem of loose threads with its predecessor. This high density threading adds extra strength in particularly weak areas of the gloves, and allow them to last an extremely long time before wearing down.

The latest version now boasts of added foam for better shock absorption and protection. Not only does this extra foam help protect you hand and wrist, it makes the gloves a lot more comfortable to wear.

Strikers and grapplers alike will also benefit from the wrist support and the use of an adjustable strap. In terms of durability and comfort, this is as good as it can get.
